How many love what is best in life?...
To crush your enemies,
see them driven before you,
and to hear the lamentation of the women!

well, I've got a beard, but I try not to have any enemies, so no need to crush them, or to waste time watching that parade, and no lamentation necessary, the women love me!

At least 2.

1. Bobert - but he's a nice barbarian. The kind you bring back to Rome for the populace to gawk at.

2. Martin Gibson - Not the nice kind of barbarian. The kind you terminate without hesitation, by any means that comes to hand.

It's "their" women, by the way.

Isn't Moulty a great name for a one handed Barbarian.

"The Barbarians are one of the best-remembered garage bands of the '60s. Not that it's easy to forget the sight of a one-handed drummer, complete with hook, driving his band through a garage-punk number in the company of the day's biggest British Invasion, soul, and surf stars. Moulty was hardly self-conscious about his handicap; on the tiny hit single immortalized on Nuggets (titled, logically enough, "Moulty"), he tells the story of the triumph over his loss in no uncertain melodramatic terms. The band also managed a somewhat bigger hit single, the British Invasion-inspired novelty "Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl."

Keep in mind that the concept of a barbarian originated with the Romans, people who crucified protesters, enslaved the helpless, and threw babies into the sewers. I guess it's all right to be a barbarian.

No, no, leeneia - barbaros is of Greek origin and denotes all people speaking non-Greek and thus unintelligible languages which sounded to Greek ears all like brr brr.
So being a speaker of classical Latin only having forgotten nearly all my Greek I have to consider this man as a barbarian, too.
